Most San Francisco Voters Support Luxury Google Buses

Given the many news stories that theorize that San Franciscans are rebelling against the technology boom and shuttle buses, we were surprised to see the opposite is true — San Franciscans indeed embrace tech and the buses, says Jim Wunderman, President/CEO of the Bay Area Council, which sponsored the study.

Voters want regulation of the shuttles, but not regulation that hinders their operation or expansion, according to a recent survey conducted by EMC Research. The telephone poll of 500 likely San Francisco voters found that, overall, 57% have a favorable view of the shuttles, and only 18% have a negative view.
